Today we spoke with Dr Preston Cline - Co-Founder and Director of Research and Education at Mission Critical Team Institute
Newly appointed a visiting Scholar in the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative within the University of Pennsylvania, Preston will continue to dig into the neuroscience of learning and teaming. His previous training as a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician, a Rescue Diver and an Ocean Lifeguard Trainer meant that Preston has led responses to numerous critical and catastrophic incidents. It was these experiences that were the catalyst for 30 years of academic research on human interaction with uncertainty...the question of why some people make it, while others do not.
Preston has received a BSc from Rutgers, a Masters of Education from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education, and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. We unpack his road from academia to operational risk management, expeditions - and back to academia. We learn about how to build a trusting and competent team if zombies are going to attack Earth tomorrow, explore uncertainty and how to employ systems to benefit from mistakes – you cannot learn without the absence of failure – the brain needs this to adapt!
Preston discussed his 'Teamcast' podcast, with a lens on research for frontline medical workers, and what the second curve will look like. He distinguishes between critical and routine communication, managing change, learning disciplines and conflict management.
Uncertainty, fear, and risk is part of the human experience – learn the rhythm of the waves like elite teams. Learn to body surf and thrive with Preston!
